support stays

It is interesting just how many types of door and panel stays are called for in the specialist enclosure industry – for example we have adjustable, telescopic, stainless steel, vibration proof, wind stop, cover stays and eyelet cable restrictors all available at our Online store. Sizes vary from 100mm to 710mm and materials are steel and in stainless steel.

A parallel range of gas struts is available to order and further information can be viewed at our Knowledge base here.

Mounting can be at the top of a door or at the base – for horizontal lids mounting is at the sides. Stays with positive stops are used where the door is to be held open for an extended period while work is carried out – whereas a simple extension stop is useful for doors in windy conditions or to restrict the momentum of heavy doors so that they do not damage their hinges or adjacent panels.

Welcome to our online store.

Featuring a wide range of products from FDB Panel Fittings, we have designed our online store to provide you with a speedy means of viewing, selecting and purchasing all your enclosure and cabinet panel fittings requirements:

It can be surprising sometimes just how many variants of a simple design are available – take the humble cover or door stay for example – we have in stock adjustable ones, telescopic ones, vibration proof types and wind stops – oh and steel or stainless steel. So whether for convenience or for health and safety reasons our stays can help the specialist panel builder support a door or prop a cover to enable safe access with a quick and simple locking mechanism. See our Online shop or contact us for more.

While putting together our Online store it was interesting to notice how many really useful miscellaneous items we have in our catalogue and because it is a section that is rarely viewed we thought it worthwhile to pay it a little attention in our blog – in the hope that it will help customers to find “that important little widget or thingamyjig”.

Many of these items we note are exactly the sort of thing that our Rocfast Assembly & Logistics service is increasingly finding appropriate to prepackaged service component packs, which we deliver all around the world for onsite installation where you want to be sure you have all the parts you need but are a long way from a source of supply.
